Reviews with content warning for Sexual harassment - Love & Gelato

AAAAA READ THIS BOOK!!!!!! Lina and Ren had AMAZING chemistry throughout the whole book! Also, I loved the drama of that journal. I read this with my friend as a buddy read which made it more fun. So fun to talk about the book while reading it. ANYWAYS!! If you are looking for a fun YA book to read over the summer, I would recommend this ALL THE WAYYY!! Such a cute book. Only complaint is that it took about 110ish pages for me to really get into it.

Really cute book and if I’d read it in middle school I probably would have given it 5 stars. Perfect for a light listen but very predictable and not much to it. I enjoyed it for that since that’s what I was looking for.

Odette hating Italy is cringe. So is Lina pretending that Lorenzo isn’t cute. Very YA. Not a great love story, but I love a good family story.

I had pretty high expectations and I really thought that I would love this book, but it wasn’t at all what I expected. I expected to feel butterflies in my stomach and to smile all the way through, but I didn’t. Like, it was good but not great.

I didn’t really like Lina and even tho I liked Howard and Lorenzo more than the other characters, everyone felt a bit flat to me.

It’s pretty unrealistic since the whole book takes place during only six days, it feels like it would be at least a month. And the plot was pretty predictable too

What I did like was the Beatles references (thanks dad for making me a Beatles pro) and that I understood most of the little Italian there was, something my four painful years at studying Italian was good for:)
